3rd Annual Chinese Speech Contest
"Hello, my name is Taylor. I am in the first grade at Global Village Academy.
This past Fall my family took a trip to China. There were so many cool things to see and do, and these are four of my favorite:
making new friends, shopping, sight-seeing, and adopting my little sister.
First, I met four girls about my age in our travel group. We became friends and hung out together. We went swimming and shopping. We had movie night in our hotel room and we laughed a lot. I loved playing with girls my own age.
Second, we did a lot of shopping for fun and to buy souvenirs. I had the most fun at the Pearl Market because there were so many pearls and beads to make jewelry. I picked out a bag for myself and a friend. I also liked seeing the shops selling eels and scorpions to eat.
Third, we did a lot of sight-seeing. My two favorite spots were the zoo and a Buddhist Temple. At the Guangzhou City Zoo I saw a big panda and took his picture. I also took pictures of an elephant who kept posing for me. At the Buddhist Temple we were given a family blessing. That was special for me since we were adopting my sister.
And fourth, my favorite memory of China was seeing my little sister for the first time. She had the biggest smile when we got her. I felt great and it is cool being a big sister. I love my mei mei Kendy!
I will never forget my trip to China. It was the best trip I have ever taken and I can't wait to go again.
Thank you"
Tay gave this speech in front of the school. She did an awesome job! I am so proud of her.

Happy Gotcha Day Taylor
6 Years!
6 years ago we gathered with 12 other families on a Sunday morning in the Miracle Hotel conference room in Guiyang, China. We waited and watched as 12 families before us met their new little daughters and left for their hotel rooms. Last but not least in walked the representatives from Luodian Social Welfare Institute from Luodian carrying Ella and then Taylor. I knew it was Taylor from her tiny little body, round head, pouty lips, rosy cheeks, soulful eyes, and beautiful face. She had been in my heart for so long that it seemed perfectly normal to take this baby in my arms and call her mine. I went right up to the nanny holding her and reached out for her and took her in my arms.
Taylor you are my blessing everyday and I am so thankful you are my daughter.
Wo ai ni baby, Mommy
上帝保佑你的家人 = God bless your Family!
